October 11, 2023 Set in Progress - Redbay's 3-Color Traegar
Juliet and Redbay talk through a draft of Redbay's three-color factions set, Traegar. Along the way, they discuss different ways of looking at high-power environments, the compromises and top-down vision needed to make a shard/wedge gold set work, and how to adapt when you have too many playables. Traegar is in design right now! You can come draft it, chime in on its progress, and do your own pack 1 pick 1's in the ⁠redbay-traegar channel on the Beacon of Creation discord!
